The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by multiplying your MHR by the percentages of the selected training zone.

For example:

A 40-year-old training for basic health maintenance:

His Upper Heart Rate Limit [220 - 40(age)] × 78%

His Lower Heart Rate Limit [220 - 40(age)] × 65%

IMPORTANT:

Always warm up before exercise and select the training zone that best suits your physique. Exercise regularly, 20 to 30 minutes per session, three to four times a week for a healthier cardiovascular system.

CAUTION:

Determining your individual training zone is a critical step in the process towards an efficient and safe training program. Please consult your doctor or health professional to help you determine exercise frequency and duration appropriate for your age, condition and specific goals.
